Some numbers

●   Women represent just 2% of FLOSS contributors

●   More than 25% in proprietary

●   Slight > in proportion of women since 2000

                - European FLOSSPOLS Survey, 2002-2005
Famous Women in FLOSS

    Mozilla Foundation, Chairperson Mozilla
    Corporation


●   Satoko Takita – Chairman Mozilla Japan


●   Ubuntu Women, GNOME Women, PHP
    Women, DrupalChix, Linuxchix, Debian
    Women, etc.
What about Mozilla?

●   Mozilla now has WoMoz!
                       www.womoz.org
●   WHAT? meeting point open to all, where
    women can meet other FLOSS contributors (ML,
    IRC, wiki, blog)
●   GOAL? Help contribute to FLOSS & Mozilla:
localization, events, QA, evangelism, community
marketing, development...
Some problems

●   Technical appearance of FLOSS projects


●   Discrimination
       –   Sexist jokes
       –   Repeated flirting
       –   Stereotyped approach of their skills


●   Communities mainly composed of men
Why a «women's» project?

●   Products are the reflection of those who created
    them


●   Too many men = reflects in outcome of created
    products (Web + software)


●   Because we want the Web and computing to be
    more open & more representative of entire
    society
Questions
●   How can we encourage more women to
     participate in FLOSS projects?
●   Do you (especially women) feel something
    should be done about this subject?
●   How can we help women integrate this
    predominantly male world?
●   In your opinion, what is missing for a larger
    participation of women in FLOSS & Mozilla?
